where can i get a new version of this script?

i already developed for psp one year back; but it seems i cant install the script again...

i tried with
newtoolchain-20060222.tgz
psptoolchain-20060120.tgz

both giving me same result;

It is definately still up. Try:

http://www.oopo.net/consoledev

A better place to grab the latest psptoolchain is:

http://ps2dev.org/psp/Tools/Toolchain

Of course, the best way is to grab it directly out of the svn repository:

svn://svn.ps2dev.org/psp/trunk/psptoolchain

I don't use cygwin so I couldn't tell you why it failed, but by the time you get to building GDB the main part of the toolchain is already done. If you aren't planning on debugging then you're probably ready to build code now.

Try to specify only that portion of the toolchain to build and install. I ran into that issue as well.... I would highly recommend moving away from cygwin and moving on to something like Ubuntu. All your installations issues would be gone being on a Linux Distro..... Well at least Ubuntu....;p

ok, will try to build my source today as soon as i am home.
will let you know then.

i have to write an tutorial for someone to compile my code, and those ppl are windows users (so am i); i do not want to install linux just to compile src for psp...
i do not really need a debugger, as my code is already finished and "only" needs to get crosscompiled (hopefully i did not leave a bug in there ;) )

thanks for your help! will let you know about any updates!

PS: my code is an 3d-object loader - src will be published as the work on university is published (should be till end of august)

greets!

PS: its working for quite huge meshes!

You should be encouraged by the fact that loads of us have installed the PSP toolchain from svn using Cygwin with no problems whatever. As long as you follow the instructionsin the readme it's simple.

weill the "readme" which one? there are several tutorials out there...
i wrote down what i did the last time i sucessfully installed it. this thime it does not work with the exact same things i did last time...
iff you know a link i do not know - i am open for news :D

EDIT: i tried compiling my code and its working...

psp-fixup-imports 3dbLoader.elf
psp-prxgen 3dbLoader.elf 3dbLoader.prx
mksfo '"3dbLoader PRX v5"' PARAM.SFO
pack-pbp EBOOT.PBP PARAM.SFO ./customize/ICON0.PNG \
NULL NULL NULL \
NULL 3dbLoader.prx NULL
[0] 408 bytes | PARAM.SFO
[1] 7110 bytes | ./customize/ICON0.PNG
[2] 0 bytes | NULL
[3] 0 bytes | NULL
[4] 0 bytes | NULL
[5] 0 bytes | NULL
[6] 463326 bytes | 3dbLoader.prx
[7] 0 bytes | NULL

so do i need a special package that does not get checked before running the chain?
i got some msgs about required libs when i tried to run it eg. ncurses etc...

The toolchain came with a readme.

My issues were due to upgrading to Vista and performing a fresh install of cygwin. I've never had issues with the XP/Cygwin combination but with Vista.... Well I just gave up and started using Linux.

No problems with cygwin and 2 Vista installs here (psp, ps3 sdks). Except with running daemons as services which doesn't affect the toolchains.
